Abstract

Online learning is defined as the instruction delivered electronically through various multimedia channels, Internet platforms and applications (Swerdloff, 2016). For several years, online learning has been the key force multiplier for traditional educational methods. The COVID-19 pandemic also emphasized online learning’s necessity which most schools relied upon amidst the crisis. The advent of online learning today has brought unprecedented challenges and opportunities for all stakeholders. 

Taking cognizance of all viewpoints, this report examines arguments both in proposition and opposition of online learning and the ways it has impacted education. By examining perspectives across global, national, and local contexts, it aims to provide actionable insights to optimize digital education.
